Not indie. Not cross-platform. Not DRM-free. This cake IS a lie.

Oh, now this is f@cking rich...

The folks at Humble Bundle just employed a full time Linux porter. That's not something that a company which is abandoning Linux does. I'm hoping that these platform specific bundles are a sporadic event and not a regular feature, and I'm hoping that we'll see a ton more games coming to Linux because Humble Bundle continues to be a go-to porting house.

Then again it could be the owner of Humble doesn't want THQ to dissapear (they are having financial trouble).

I am not speaking as one entitled. They have the right to do what they are doing. But just because they have the right to do it does not make it right.

This will seriously hurt GOG as well since developers and publishers will just say: "[COLOR=#dbdbdb]"If even the Humble Bundle guys are willing to accept DRM, then why not you also? Stop being so fanatic""
Making it harder, much harder for them to get them to agree to their DRM free terms. In the end that will mean that they will either have to give up on their DRM free principles just like the Humble Bundle guys did or they will have to live with a much smaller catalog. Either way DRM free gaming loses out. You would almost think this was deliberately designed to kill DRM free and cross-platform gaming.
They have been getting worse with missing games, re-hashing games multiple times, Windows only bundles...what's next
